"Luxembourg criminalized sex trafficking and labor trafficking through Articles 382-1 and 382-2 of the criminal code and prescribed penalties of three to 10 years’ imprisonment and a fine for trafficking offenses involving adult victims and 10 to 15 years’ imprisonment and a fine for offenses involving child victims. These penalties were sufficiently stringent and, with respect to sex trafficking, commensurate with penalties prescribed for other serious crimes, such as rape. Inconsistent with the definition of trafficking under international law, the law established the use of force, fraud, or coercion as aggravating factors rather than essential elements of the crime."

Is selling sex criminalised? Selling sex technically legal in Luxembourg but street-based sex work zoned to certain areas and certain times. If working outside of this area or time then sex workers can be fined. The new sex work law (adopted Feb 18) means that people who are trafficked or victims of sexual exploitation will not be charged with soliciting if working outside zoned areas. Is buying sex criminalised? Buying sex is now criminalised in Luxembourg under certain circumstances. The new law criminalises customers of 'prostitutes' who are minors, vulnerable individuals – for instance, individuals suffering from mental illness or without valid papers – or the victims of human trafficking....more

According to the U.S. State Department's 2023 TIP report, Luxembourg ranks as a Tier 1 country (85). The report states that while the government continues to maintain sustained investigation, prosecution and conviction efforts, judges still issue lenient sentences to convicted traffickers which creates potential safety concerns for trafficking victims and undermines nationwide efforts to fight trafficking. Additionally, the government decreased overall funding to NGOs for victim assistance and shelter for the third consecutive year, thus suggesting more lax enforcement (KMM-CODER COMMENT).

"Due to the high level of migration in Luxembourg, the contribution of the foreign population to the number of births each year is significant. 62.6 % of children born in 2013 have a mother with a foreign citizenship. The contribution of foreign immigration to the Luxembourgish population increased fertility indicators. In 2013, as in the years before, the total fertility rate for foreign women was higher than for Luxembourgish women: 1.80 children per foreign woman and 1.32 children per Luxembourgish woman" (para 18).
